Like much of her modern pop star ancestry, Grande’s big break came courtesy of kids TV, scoring a role on the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious in 2010. While the show was initially designed as a starring vehicle for actress and singer Victoria Justice, Grande emerged as one of its key breakouts, portraying ditzy redhead Cat Valentine.

The show ran for three seasons, until star Victoria Justice reportedly decided that she wished to leave to pursue a music career.

Grande later wrote on her ask.fm account (in a message subsequently deleted) that “the only reason Victorious ended is because 1 girl didn't want to do it. She chose to do a solo tour instead of a cast tour. If we had done a cast tour Nickelodeon would have ordered another season of Victorious.”

Rumours of a feud between both stars have long existed, and resurfaced earlier this year when an old clip was unearthed showing the Victorious cast being asked which one of them was most likely to break into song when they weren’t filming. While every cast member names Grande, Justice, with her arms folded, dismissively responds that “we all sing.” It became a popular meme throughout April 2017.
